Set Variable to a Value
This task block consists of an input and a done output. The first configuration "Put this" is a number, text, variable or JSON object or array that you want to place into a variable.
If the input to the delay block is triggered the task block will set the variable to the value specified.
Examples
Here is a simple example of a mission that uses a set variable to value task block to put the text "Hello!" into the variable "var1".
Copy / Settings / Docs
Each task block has three buttons named Copy, Settings, and Help.
- Copy: This will duplicate the task block with all the current settings.
- Settings: Settings will show a dialog that allows some added configuration for the block
- Note: This allows you to add a text note for the current block. This note will appear in the log file if the Block Loggin option is enabled.
- Transition Out Time: Each block can specify a delay in milliseconds that it will wait after an output trigger is activated. This feature is generally not used but is avilable for more granular flow control of the mission if needed.
- Block Logging: If this is enabled then the internal logging of the block is turned on and will be sent to the mission log. Each block has different amounts of internal logging which can make mission logs become large in some cases. Users generally do not enable this feature because of the limits to data storage.
